Carioca Dress
From the Spring/Summer 1986 catalogue: “Not to be confused with Ginger Rogers’ madcap costume for the Carioca scene in Flying Down to Rio, our version is a logical (yet also playful) extension of our extremely popular Carioca Shirt. Same slithery-cool fabric, same mischievous stripes; same extroverted spirit. Not the same: the length, (just below the knee), the side vents, the one-Seam pockets, the wide webbed belt. Suitable for sambas: soothing over sunburns.”
